Tooth whitening is completely harmless and can be done at any age. The whitening or bleaching process can work on all natural teeth, although the degree of whitening and the speed of whitening depend upon the initial colour of the teeth. All man-made materials such as crowns, veneers and fillings do not whiten, but other options can be discussed with your dentist to give you that perfect smile.

In most cases the whitening process is completely painless. However it can cause temporary sensitivity in some people. This can be alleviated with the use of desensitising toothpastes or a product we sell at the practice called Tooth Mousse.

The whitening lasts up to three years, gradually diminishing over time. However it can easily be “topped up” at home.

There are two types of whitening available to our patients:

1. At Home Whitening

Custom fit trays are made for each individual patient.

Inside each tray we apply a gel to the surface of the tooth for at least 2 hours per day which whitens the teeth gradually.

The more often you wear the trays the faster the teeth will whiten.

At the end of treatment keep the trays so that you can use them to top up the whitening months/years later.

2. Zoom Power Whitening

This process is done within the practice.

We whiten the teeth from start to finish in the dental chair.

It uses a stronger gel than with home whitening and so can make the teeth slightly more sensitive but this is still only temporary.

Trays can be provided for those that wish to “top up” also after treatment.

This method is ideal if you have an important event to go to and want whiter teeth for it.

Great news, Due to lots of hard work behind the scenes, we are now able to offer Emergency Face-to-Face Appointments from Monday 1st June. We will hopefully then be able to phase back our dental services safely and appropriately following clinical and legal guidelines. There will be certain rules that you must follow in order for us to be able to see you, so please be patient whilst we are all trying to adapt. We wish you and your families good health and look forward to seeing you as soon as we’re allowed and able.
